Windows is (still) more flexible because of Active Directory and Group Policy which isn't a thing on OS X. Using an API instead of dedicated software for remote management is a good thing, so-- I don't find that to be an issue. Microsoft is just *behind*. The medical community (at least hospitals ar...

I've been using Windows 8.1 more at work again, getting a list of more things to add, these are the ones pending: *turn off new apps notification http://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/02/disable-new-apps-can-open-type-file-windows-8/ (Martin has an article here explaining what needs to be done in the regist...

It's nice to see it actually in action now, though. Because that's proof that Microsoft can (and presumably will) flag "pirated" software, or software it deems that shouldn't be ran on their operating system.

Of course we already knew this, but the slow reaction towards it will be amusing.

Well apparently Tim supports a 'flat earth': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cbxeqlfCUA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHGrs46QnOA He's also against the pre-tribulation rapture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYiNHCzKsac So let's tally it up Tim's beliefs so far: #1 He believes in works salvation...

Apparently this error has something to do with Windows 95 not knowing what to do with today's super powerful CPUs (lol). I'm still reading this article by MS: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/263466 Well in virtualbox you can actually specify the type of CPU and RAM. If you allocate too much ...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3107057 I quote from Microsoft's page: As of October 30, 2015, the Windows 8 and 8.1 Pro Pack (which upgraded Windows 8 Home or 8.1 Home to Windows 8 Pro or 8.1 Pro, with Media Center) and Media Pack (which added Media Center to Windows 8 Pro or 8.1 Pro) are no...

Actually Martin in a previous article mentions about the services starting themselves back up again after updates (and Diagnostic Tracking Service was renamed): http://www.ghacks.net/2015/11/19/microsoft-rena-and-telemetry/ And get this! Woody Leonhard goes out of his way to immediately throw critic...

My Window 10 problems got worse and worse. Microsoft Office applications couldn't work anymore, even after repair/reinstallation. My mouse would sometimes just stop working, my keyboard would randomly have keys held down. I fixed the monitor issue by updating the video driver... but then I had every...

After getting more resources to configure my Windows 8 installations, I keep running across stupid articles from Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard which irritate me for two reasons: #1 their articles are pollution when you're trying to find scripts and programs: they don't provide technical resources, just...

**Note: this is only for Windows 8 / 8.1, and not meant for Windows 10** Since I am forced to use Windows for some critical software I have no hope of ever running on anything else, I decided to write a guide on how to fix Windows 8 and 'cure' it from the various issues it has. Such as getting rid o...

Then what do you think of this article, click here ? A better idea than messing with your personal computer's VSS services (which I would say is bad), would be to set up a file server where you don't have administrative privileges for your system to execute anything on said file server (that way th...

You don't need to burn .ISOs to DVDs. If you have multiple USB sticks (which 16 GB ones are a dime a dozen), you can simply write the .ISO to a USB stick and boot from that (and then install the stuff to another USB stick if so desired). Rufus is one of the better programs for turning .ISOs into boo...

Denominations exist everywhere, but I wanted to focus on ones in Christianity. Generally when you argue with someone in a denomination typically they'll operate on the denomination's principles (as ridiculous or correct they may be). I wanted to plot as to WHY denominations are wrong. #1 Denominatio...

http://lastdayswatchman.blogspot.com/2015/11/catholic-church-paid-millions-in.html It seems like Cliff Kincaid changes the story with immigration and the Catholics for whatever the occasion. First the Catholic Church is trying to get immigrants in because they're Catholic, now they're trying to imm...

Hupostasis, correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that I would have to rearrange the fret board of my guitar to achieve Pythagorean tuning. I mean, I was able to program my tuner to A-415Hz, but the actual layout of modern fret boards are for equal temperament, right. I've never tuned a fretboard...

One thing to keep in mind, the Psalms and ancient music would have been using meantone temperament (or pythagorean temperament). Another thing they don't use is A440 (or C = 440 Hz). Today we use EQUAL temperament with 440 Hz: this phenomenon was introduced in the early 1900's and for some bizarre r...

Pace (the makers of iLok) have not created a Linux variant of the iLok manager, and will not due to lack of interest on the platform: https://www.ilok.com/#!license-manager Therefore running a DAW with WINE can only go so far, because your VSTs won't be able to license properly without it. So, you'r...

Yeah, all of my clients seem to be in iPhones. I'm still using a dumb phone (RAZR) and have no intention of changing it. I hate cellphones: no matter who's calling, they always sound as if underwater, even when calling my landline (which I insist they do). You could just upgrade your landline phone...

Well all new machines are UEFI compliant now (and most allow the firmware to behave as the legacy BIOS since UEFI typically doesn't like to boot into MBR but rather GPT). Windows did automatically partition itself as MBR on my UEFI tower, and the BIOS kept complaining about that. The certificate key...

The implication then is awesome. In order to play out LEARNING, you'd have many 'neighborhoods' in the universe which replicate a time, culture, and lifestyle, kinda like the Rennaisance Faire, or TomorrowLand, or those Amish tourism places, taking you back in time.. with the real people who LIVED ...

I happened across a conversation on an R.B. Thieme video that I found interesting (while testing some things in Linux on an unrelated note). Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVkZgj8bKjU As a former Taper and christian turned atheist, I challenge any of you "students of the word" to ...

Where did you find these quotes? So the website is built extremely fragmented (perhaps I'm more critical since I actually do programming and multimedia design), but not everything is laid out in plain view. If you go to the source page I provided it has Tim's comment with the "Who am I" s...

But why a priesthood? Only the Church is the Bride of Christ. Not all believers... Not all are privy the intimacy with Deity. Our home will always be Heaven. The other believers will find their eternal home on the new earth (the home of righteousness), not Heaven. We (Christ and His Bride) as pries...

It's sad how people make these ludicrous arguments and try to back them up with broken context. They don't WANT to see the big picture. And even when they do, they create the most absurd circular arguments and eventually argue themselves into a corner where they have to make insane statements out o...

Here's the text variances for you: KJV Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. NIV Revelation 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their sple...

The Father Did Not Punish His Son Quote not famous b/c Jesus never said it: "THE FATHER HATED ME WITHOUT CAUSE" How is it possible for the Father to punish His innocent Son without it being an injustice? Did Christ deserve to be punished? Christ was perfectly righteous and completely inno...

Answering-islam is safe. Any of the anti-muslim sites are safe, because they have extra protection against the Muslims. It's the Muslim sites that are a risk. They track, they might send those electronic attacks, etc. They do a lot of flagging. I had a video of mine flagged as if for copyright but ...

Who Am I? “I was saved while believing I was dying for my own sins and Christ was not.” The criminal on the cross: “Do you not fear God? This man has done nothing wrong to deserve death (by Caesar or God). We are suffering the due penalty (death) for our crimes. Jesus, remember me when you come int...

What's nice about this one is that it includes the removed ending with Cornelius finding the "peppermint mine". I wonder if it was added by the uploader or if they have a fully restored version now. Oh well.

For like you and hupostasis and others noted prior, in heaven there is no more sorrow, etc. Well "no more sorrow" does have somewhat of a minor contradiction with "wailing and gnashing of teeth". Therefore we have the following options: #1 IF both are related: the wailing and su...

I now understand Tim's problem (above, red-glow text), hupostasis. Timmy doesn't understand Greek of Romans 5:12, aorist of hamartanw : meaning, we all are deemed sinners IN ADAM (ties to 'in Adam all die'), because the sin nature is biological. We inherit it. So the soul is perfect at birth, but t...

In all those dippy Trib movies, that's one theme they get right. Granted, we believers are pretty stupid, self-righteous and snarky, but we don't deserve the vehemence or the level of criticism we get, and GOD shouldn't be lumped with us.. but always is. I've always been critical of Christianity an...

Here's another slideshow article , this one by MS8-10 fanboy Brad Chacos. They can't bring themselves to admit the problems in Win10. Chirping praise. Oh well, the article comments are worth reading, especially since PC World is impossible to comment in now (unless you enable cookies and disable Ad...

I don't understand why they put "goodnight DOS" on the Windows 9x section. Windows 9x had the best MS-DOS support and restart in MS-DOS mode if the virtual machine didn't cut it. I'll have to agree that Windows 3x (and anything prior) is total garbage, are they even proper operating system...

Ed Bott has done it again, using a fluff piece to cover up the heinous new Win10 terms, click here . In that article you'll see my refutation, which I've also posted elsewhere, as it's really important to see his subterfuge technique. He seems to think by ignoring refutation, that it will go away. ...

Very few people have windows phones. Android comes first followed by Apple's iOS. Microsoft was far behind the times and never caught the smartphone market in time. Furthermore, they (at this current time) fail to capture any user base because: #1 technical users want android (due to the flexibility...

Interesting quick clip of Morten Storm discussing some faculties of radical Islam while he was working under cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaM7qo2Dx4A Megyn Kelly seems surprised when he brings up a few verses in the Qu'ran about every non-muslim being an infidel.

Yeah I saw the amazon reviews: I know they're not supposed to be funny, but I found them hilarious. Either laughing *with* the 1 star reviewers, or laughing *at* the 5 star reviewers. I've only read the preview of the book (which was like reading the book of Mormon to be honest because it's *so slow...

I find that when you point out the simplicity and uniqueness of salvation by faith alone, people see it as a license to sin. Therefore they reject it because they think grace makes us hypocrites. They fail to realize that we are hypocrites by nature. Grace then becomes an offense in their minds. Th...

Someone (years) ago asked me "well how do you know which is the truth", alluding to the fact that there are many religious beliefs. One of the biggest things that makes 'the Bible' different from religions is Grace. The fact that salvation is absolutely free and there's nothing you need to...

If the crusades were started as a satanic joke, it would be interesting to get some more back story on it. Unfortunately most studies on demonology are farcical at best and don't do basic *observation* that can be proven. You know, it's usually exorcism junk. That video does a bit of bias though, th...

Yeah, but notice the other stuff in the article, which is addressed in this thread , Seems that yeah you can control the update selection only if you're on Service Configuration Manager, which is neither WUB nor WSUS. But I don't know what SCM is. Then I have no answer for you-- guess you'll have t...

Gotta tell ya, back in the 1960's most Americans talked like that, even Thieme. Makes me cringe when I hear him in those old classes. But he grew out of that. Ruckman never got with doctrine, always remained fixated on Thieme (as so many of that time were), Ed thinks he's being loyal to do the same...
